The Electric Vehicles Ecosystem Model: Construct, Analysis and Identification of Key Challenges

This paper builds a conceptual model of electric vehicles’ (EV) ecosystem and value chain build-up. Based on the literature, the research distinguishes the most critical challenges that are on the way of mobility systems’ electrification. Consumers still have some questions that call for answers bef...
